The number of roots of any polynomial is depended on the degree of that polynomial; that is, if n is the degree of a polynomial p(x), then p(x) has n number of roots.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent value of any of its terms.

Since the degree of the given polynomial is 2, the equation has 2 roots.
